Dear Menachem Shmei,
I thank you very much for your excellent Torah sources.
As you correctly said, those statements are similar
to what the OP said, but none are exact matches.
Most people don’t know this, but I have done HUGE research
into the topic of Tefilah, always focusing on precise Torah sources.
I NEVER found ANY Rabbi or Torah book which says exactly
what the OP said, even though I did enough research to write
several books on the topic of Tefilah, and I strongly suspect
that his quote is not written in any Torah book.
I am tired of reading the ridiculous messages that “bael teshuva”
writes in this Coffee Room. His messages are low-quality,
and never should have been approved by moderators.
I strongly suspect that “bael teshuva” is NOT a real Baal Teshuvah;
I suspect that he falsely uses that name as part of a sick stupid joke,
in which he hopes to make people laugh at real Baalei Teshuvah,
because Baalei Teshuvah are like orphans, who have nobody
to defend them when people laugh at them or ridicule them.
I wish you good only decrees on Rosh HaShanah,
and a very easy fast on Yom Kippur.
Sincerely,
SQUARE_ROOT
